You’ve Probably Heard The Term SEO. What Does SEO Stand For?
St. Paul, United States – July 27, 2019 / GingerHippo /
“SEO” is short for Search Engine Optimization. It is also tool companies use to drive traffic to their website. Traffic is what everyone wants for websites, correct?
According to Wikipedia. SEO “is the process of affecting the online visibility of a website’s unpaid results. This is often referred to as “natural”, “organic”, or “earned” results.”
What does that mean? It means that effort needs to happen, to make one website rank better than another website in search. The internet is getting more and more competitive every day. Writing a piece of content and expecting it to rank on it’s own, is a thing of the past.
By creating better content, and using great principles, websites can rank better. Why? Because search engines want to provide the best content.
There are two different types of search engine optimization, being “On-Page SEO” and “Off-Page SEO”. GingerHippo will explain each type, to help understand the importance of both.
On-Page SEO– On-page SEO relates to how content relates to other content on a website. Internal linking between pages, allows a website to build authority for the entire website. Also, using external links to outside content, allows a website to build credibility.
Off-Page SEO– Off-page SEO refers to the efforts of trying to get others to feel the content is valuable. Sharing content on social media is one method of off-page SEO. It is also the most popular because anyone can share content links. The second method is to get other websites to link to the content. When websites link to content, search engines determine content is valuable. The SEO industry calls this “outreach”. Outreach is when a company reaches out to other websites, to create a “do follow backlink” to content. Sometimes, this may happen without effort. Most of the time, a company needs to reach out to other webmasters to create this opportunity.
Outside of the two different types of SEO, there are many other aspects of what it means. By using the best principles, SEO drives traffic to a website. With the added traffic, the opportunity to gain new customers happens, by creating solutions. By gaining new customers, more revenue happens. Companies all want more customers, right?
